How to install Eaton 9PXM

• Prepare the site — Select a clean, ventilated, vibration-free space with adequate clearance for cooling and service access. Ensure the installation area complies with electrical codes and local regulations for UPS equipment.
• Mount the cabinet — Install the 14U chassis in a compatible rack or place it in a secure tower configuration based on space requirements. Secure the unit to prevent movement and ensure stable anchoring for safety and reliability.
• Connect power paths — Wire the hardwired input and output per manufacturer guidelines and local electrical standards. Verify proper grounding and shielded cabling where appropriate to minimize interference and maximize protection.
• Install battery and power modules — Insert hot-swappable battery modules and power modules as needed to achieve the desired runtime and redundancy. Ensure all modules are firmly seated and that interlocks are engaged.
• Configure management and networking — If you’re using the cybersecure network card, install and configure the card according to the provided administration guide. Connect the UPS to your monitoring environment (SNMP, web interface, or other supported protocols) and set alert thresholds, shutdown policies, and maintenance schedules.
• Commission and test — Power up the system, verify input/output voltages, perform a self-test, and confirm the UPS maintains output during simulated disturbances. Validate that runtime extension features and hot-swap functionality operate as intended.
• Documentation and labeling — Record the UPS configuration, serial numbers of all modules, and management IP address. Label input/output circuits for quick identification during maintenance or emergency procedures.
